Default Help with zaino

I was wondering if anyone lives around Orange or Sullivan County, New York that has experience with Zaino ? I bought all the stuff but never used it before. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me out. I also know Beren County, New Jersy. I will travel within a reasonable distance. Thanks

I think wolfdogs has successfully tutored several people by phone. Are you interested in trying that? It isn't difficult, the worst part is getting past the apprehension of starting. With someone like wolfdogs available for consult I'm sure you would do fine.

I think I can help you out. First, put all of the Zaino products back into the box. Second, place a for sale ad in the classified section of this forum. Third, order a bottle of Rejex because it doesn't take a team or tutorial to use and looks as good if not better than Zaino. Finally, drive around in your shiny corvette with the 6+ hours I just saved you.

Getting the Vette ready for the Strictly Corvette Show in AC are we?

I'd be happy to help you Shelly but I'm in RI. If you don't have anyone near by you, I'd be happy to help you by phone. Just send me a PM if your interested.

It's not that hard to do, but doing it right is important.

Steve

A good wash job, then let dry, a bottle of ReJex, a few clean or new micro fiber cloths, an applicator. Read and follow the instructions on bottle. Before you know it, you're finished. Stand back and click a photo so we can see your work. ReJex user for years. Zaino is no better than Rejex (I have my flame suit on), so why spend the hours when it isn't necessary.

Here is my pic.

Doesn't sound like you're getting much help. The Zaino web page has excellent info on the application of these products.

http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...de=APPLICATION

Personally I would use no other product. Zaino does an excellent job and is more durable than anything I've tried in the past. Very easy to keep up a great shine.

Exactly what are you guys doing that makes Zaino any more work than any other polish, including Rejex???

I've been using Zaino for many years and it just doesn't get any easier....

Wipe it (Z5) on, wipe it off and drive.

I think what happens to a lot of people is,they don't know that much about it.Since you can buy different items for what you want or you can buy kits. The kits come with multiple items.I guess it can get confusing.Wolfdogs is the expert on zaino

Any question hit him up. Im sure there are just a few things you may want .You dont need the whole product line to do a good job.

Go to their very own website and see that its not as simple as you put it. I'm speaking from experience here. I took a drink of the Zaino Koolaid and just wasn't that impressed with the shine or how long it lasted. I tried Rejex afterward and loved the ease of it and was blown away by the shine ( as well as other people who commented on my car).

I'll put it another way. If you were looking for exterior house paint and one had good results but you needed to put 6 coats of it on to get the results and another paint looked as good but only needed 1 coat, which would you choose. Heck, look at
Wolfdog, he got those arms from his Zaino applications. He only goes to the gym for his Jazzercise classes! ( J/K Wolf...lol )

I have a friend who wants me to detail a car with his zaino.Now i don't know how old his zaino is .He says its to much work for him.He has stuff that has to be mixed.Now im no zaino expert .I have never used it. When i went on their site i didn't see anything that needed mixing. He brought a kit.....Pinnacle ,wolfgangs dp All have kits you can buy .I love all of them but Fusion is my favorite so far.

You are telling me that Zaino is not really as easy as I say it is? As easy as it has been for me for past 10 years? Really? I guess you should know what I've been doing better than me... Have I been doing it wrong to produce these results?
